Starter motor spark - hightower - 27-05-14
This is for my KZ hence general forum.
I've just rebuilt the starter, and when I plugged it back in to the battery I got a spark and not much else. I'm sure I've assembled it correctly, but obviously not. What would cause this? Sounds like a short somewhere but not sure where

Would that be a Kawasaki KZ650?

Did it turn freely by hand after you put it back together? Did you test it in the bike or on a table?
Re: Starter motor spark - hightower - 29-05-14
It didn't really turn freely by hand. I tested with a battery pack on the table, then on bike too

Any that I've had didn't quite spin freely because of the brushes but you could easily turn them by hand with a bit of resistance. It shouldn't be hard to turn if it is then it's probably stuck and you should take it apart again. You could have blown a fuse too when you tried it on the bike so check them too

I defo blew a fuse on the battery pack. Not sure about bike yet
